Reay is set to be at the bookstore from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to sign her latest novel, “The Printed Letter Bookshop.”

This sit-and-sign event allows readers to stop in anytime during the appearance to meet the author to have their books signed.

“We are delighted to once again host Katherine. She’s become a great favorite among our readers — both for her character-driven novels and because she’s such a sweet person,” Saturn’s owner Jill Miner said. “In her newest book, Katherine takes readers in a (somewhat idyllic) peek behind the scenes at a small-town bookstore.”

“One of Madeline Cullen’s happiest childhood memories is working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline’s heart toward her once-treasured aunt — and the now struggling bookshop left in her care,” reads part of the description.

“While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter’s two employees have other ideas. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates.

“Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls. When Madeline’s professional life takes an unexpected turn —and a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions — she questions her plans and her heart, and begins to envision a new path for herself and for her aunt’s beloved shop.”

Saturn Booksellers calls “The Printed Letter Bookshop” an engaging story of good books, a testament to the beauty of new beginnings and a sweet reminder of the power of friendship.

Her first nonfiction book, co-authored with Rebecca Powell, will release in February 2020.

Reay holds a bachelor of arts and master of science from Northwestern University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. She then worked in marketing and development before returning to graduate school for a masters of theological studies.

Moves to Texas, England, Ireland and Washington left that degree unfinished as Reay spent her time unpacking, raising kids, volunteering, writing and exploring new storylines and new cities. She writes full-time now and, as her kids go off to college, she finds the house increasingly quiet.
